Hey guys,

I've thought to spend a bit more time on my blog. Apart from posting the content on it, I've decided to enrich each of the articles with 'summary' videos.

Short videos in the beginning of the articles that would easily summarize the article.

As I've already have the content for the topic written, I am looking for the software that will help me create the videos as easy as possible.

I am not looking for Adobe Premiere tips or suggestions. I am talking simple videos where I can put some royalty free footage and text with the logos

Are you doing this? and what's more important - can you give any tips on such softwares you've personally tested?
 
Am using canva and Camtasia

While learning how to use Canva for shorts
 
Never actually considered Cava. Interesting. Will look into it
 
Movavi Video Editor Plus
it's good you can try it
 
I remember using Animoto for things like these back in the days. Now that I have half-a**sed knowledge of after effects, i use that and camtasia to piece things together
 
Wondershare Filmora
 
I found filmora video editor very easy to use. Give it a try. It has good set of features for what it has to offer. If you are looking for a professional video editor that is easy to use, you can try hitfilm express. It's free too.
 
I have tried using Camtasia, Filmora, Movavi. Among these Camtasia is the simplest and easy to use.

Filmora and Movavi and good and lightweight tools but they have added too many features that may seem daunting for a newbie or someone just want to create videos without much huss or fuss.

Here, Camtasia is a clear winner owing to the simplicity of the interface.

I also used camtasia in the past. On and off since 2010. I think it's straightforward to use as well.

I'm going to try canva soon but I don't know if it can remove audio and other basic things that actual video editing software has.

Canva is good for creating videos that do not require much editing. I have a Canva subscription too but I faced lot of difficulties editing/ mixing audio in Canva. At times even for basic cutting and merging Canva is not an option.

A desktop standalone video editing software is always ideal for video editing.
 
Camtasia, it's been around since 20-30 years, a time tested product.
 
I use Wondershare Filmora. It is very easy to use, just create some time to learn how to use the software.
 
The easiest video creation process that I've used to do something that is similar to what you're trying to do involves OpenShot Video Editor.

OpenShot is a completely free program.

What I do is I take royalty-free stock video footage from places like Pexels and also free stock audio and just create captions for the messages that I'm trying to show with my videos.

This takes a little bit of time so to speed things up, I hire freelancers from places like Fiverr.

If you're looking for a much faster way to do videos, you might want to try Synthesia.

The downside with Synthesia is that they automatically just pick different parts of your content and randomly create videos around those.

Since you're focused on specific summaries, I would suggest that you use a manual approach.
